The leaf extract of Cassia fistula with different solvens viz, methanol, benzene and acetone were studied for the larvicidal, ovicidal and repellent activity against Aedes aegypti. The extract exhibited dose dependent activity and produced significant mortality. The 24 h LC50 concentration of the extract against Aedes aegypti were observed at 10.69, 18.27 and 23.95 mg/l respectively. Mean perce...

Background and aim: Cutaneous leishmaniasis is an endemic disease in Iran. Although there are many different treatments for this disease, there is not any effective treatment yet. Since there has been a number of different reports on the effectiveness of Cassia fistula plant in the treatment of leishmaniasis, the efficacy of concentrated boiled extract and hydro alcoholic extract of Cassi...

The aqueous extract of the pods of Cassia fistula Linn (Leguminosae Caesalpinoideae), cultivated in Ile-Ife, Nigeria were investigated for pharmacological and toxicological properties. The in-vitro effect of Cassia fistula infusion on isolated guinea-pig ileum was examined. The acute and sub-chronic toxicity of the infusion of C. fistula and Cassia acutifolia Del. Pod(Senokot tablet) as the ref...

Cassia fistula Linnis a flowering plant in the family Fabaceae, native to the Indian subcontinent and adjacent regions of Southeast Asia.

This review article was carried out by searching studies in PubMed, Medline, Web of Science, and IranMedex databases up to 2016.totally, of 100 found artic...

Antioxidant potential of various extracts of Cassia fistula was determined by the DPPH, FRAP, Fe(3+) reducing power, and hydrogen peroxide scavenging assay. Methanolic extracts of Cassia fistula showed the highest amount of phenolic and flavonoid content and reducing capacity, whereas hexane extracts exhibited the lowest level of reducing capacity. The order of antioxidant activity in Cassia fi...

The aim of the study was to evaluate the synergistic antifungal action of crude DMSO (Di methyl sulphoxide) & Petroleum ether leaves extract of Cassia fistula in conjunction with fluconazole against candidial species isolated from Candidasis patients. Correlation was observed between the leaves & fluconazole, therefore it was also found that the antifungal action of Cassia fistula leaves extrac...

Effect of solvent residues of Vitex negundo L. and Cassia fistula L. leaves (0.5 and 1%) was studied on egg laying and adult emergence of Callosobruchus maculatus Fab. and on percentage of larval parasitism by Dinarmus vagabundus (Timberlake). Cowpea seeds treated with methanol and aqueous extract of Vitex, at these concentrations (0.5 and 1%), significantly reduced the number of eggs and emerg...

A water soluble galactomannan having D-Mannose [4-part] and D-Galactose [2-parts] was isolated from Cassia fistula. In cassia fistula Hydrolysis of methylated seed gum furnished three methylated sugars, 2, 3-di-O-methyl-D-mannose, 2, 3,6-tri-O-methyl-D-mannose and 2, 3,4,6-tetra-Omethy-D-galactose was present in molar ratio 3:2:1. Partial acid catalysed hydrolysis of the seed gum gave five olig...
